Sweet Little Nothings

This is a South African group that we have been listening to. One of our mentors Mashuping or “Mash” as we call her recommended to us.  

Packing for summertime #southafrica

As promised, here’s my sentimental collection of everyday jewelry. Almost all of them gifts from my family or friends or in remembrance of a memorable event.

As a sort of new/early year’s resolution, I have decided that I am going to start wearing my clothes more! Part of this endeavor is to please my mother, but the other half is to really wear what I have instead of constantly adding to my wardrobe. Now that I have a bit of time to put different pieces together, mismatching both comfortable and stylish is the goal to strutting around town each and everyday a handcrafted outfit.  I am hoping that I will only need to add a few more staple items to the lot and then I will be able to mix and match to my heart’s content! I am hoping this will keep me accountable for not staying true to my pact of wearing and experimenting with what I already have (which is very nice, I am one LUCKY girl), but also keep me enhancing every outfit to make up for that rush of excitement when you purchase a new item! 

These first couple of days I have been a little dress crazy! I do love dresses, especially for my pear-shaped bod and ba-donk, which I am continually trying to accept, hopefully it will better with this endeavor!

I always wear diamond studs, a diamond circle necklace, a fair trade beaded bracelet, an AMDG cloth bracelet, a gold chain bracelet with four charms, a diamond banded ring and a gold band for sentimental value. Perhaps photos to come later.
